Amanda Green (born December 29, 1963) is an American actress, singer and songwriter.
Born in New York City, New York, Green was raised on the Upper West Side with brother Adam by parents Phyllis Newman, an actress and singer, and Adolph Green, a lyricist and playwright.
From an early age she was exposed to major talents of Broadway musical theatre, including Leonard Bernstein, Jule Styne, and Cy Coleman, all of whom were regular guests in the household.
At the age of nine, she starred as Maria in her summer camp's production of West Side Story, and decided to focus on performing.
After graduating from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, Green attended an actors' training program at the Circle in the Square Theatre School in New York City and then spent two seasons at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Williamstown, Massachusetts. She began writing songs and performing in Manhattan cabarets like Joe's Pub.
In the mid-1990s, inspired by Lyle Lovett's writing, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to write country music.
